Description

One block cast piston with oil-discharge trough that the oil extraction function is enhanced

Technical background

1. technical field

The present invention relates to the piston that diesel engine uses.

2. correlation technique

For some heavy diesel engines, when motor in low idle (low idle) state following time, engine ventilating device often will give off a certain amount of mist or steam.It is believed that, this phenomenon partly be since ram in oil extraction insufficient due to.The piston of many large diesel engines is made up of three annular grooves, wherein, and last two adaptive compression rings of groove, a following adaptive scraper ring of groove.When reciprocating motion of the pistons, oil scrapes from cylinder wall, flows to crankcase.When oil mass increase or reciprocating motion of the pistons institute against burning cylinder sleeve surface on exist the oil mass increase time, traditional oil extraction mode is not enough often.When skirt and a last top integral body of formation (so-called one block cast piston), to its a kind of especially challenge.

U. S. Patent the 6th, 557 discloses a kind of one block cast piston No. 514; Have three annular grooves that are used for adaptive compression ring and scraper ring; And under nethermost annular groove, be provided with the 4th groove, and this groove and any ring are irrelevant, and it is with Lay step-down or decompression; The oil that ring is scraped gets into wherein, is used for improving the control to the oil that scrapes from jacket wall.Yet,, described low idle state following time, still exist so-called white vapor state in the above although this structure has some benefit at the fuel-flow control management aspect.

A target of the present invention is to remove or reduce this " white vapor " problem significantly and to existing one block cast piston, comprise and use the piston of the 4th oil-discharge trough to improve.

Summary of the invention

A kind of one block cast piston apparatus comprises a piston head, and a combustion bowl and a band that is made up of many annular grooves are arranged in the piston head upper surface.There is an oil cooling passage in the place of contiguous combustion bowl and band on piston head, and pair of pin bosses is formed with aligned pin, and piston skirt and pin hub form a fixing integral piece.An oil-discharge trough is arranged below annular groove, and this oil-discharge trough comprises at least one tap hole to the piston skirt inside opening.

At least one tap hole of in oil-discharge trough this can strengthen the oil extraction function of groove, especially guides unnecessary oil row to the inside of piston, thereby eliminates or help to reduce the generation of white vapor.

Description of drawings

In conjunction with the detailed description below the advantages, can more easily understand of the present invention these with further feature and advantage, wherein:

Fig. 1 is the perspective view of a piston;

Fig. 2 is the sectional view along the 2-2 line of Fig. 1 basically;

Fig. 3 is the worm's eye view of this piston; With

Fig. 4 is the sectional view along the 4-4 line of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 basically.

Embodiment

In these accompanying drawings; Present embodiment's preferably an one block cast piston is with 10 expressions according to the present invention; It comprises a upper top 12, and upper top 12 combines with lower bottom part 14 through joint 16, thereby a partially enclosed at least oil cooling passage 18 is provided; Car engine is from pumping into cold oil (not drawing the figure) towards oil cooling passage 18 down; At the piston run duration, through pass channel bottom 22 one or more mouthfuls 20 with the cold oil introduction channel, thereby cool off upper top 12 in known manner.

Piston 10 comprises that a pair of and lower bottom part 14 is combined into the pin hub 26 of an integral body, is used for supporting a pair of fixing skirt 28, and skirt 28 is combined into an integral body with the pin hub of the lower bottom part 14 that uses same material manufacture.Upper top 12 comprises a combustion bowl 30 that is recessed its upper surface 32, constitutes the part of the wall of oil cooling passage 18.Article one, band 34 is gone in ring around oil cooling passage 18 in the outside, and from the upper surface 32 of upper top 12 to extending below.Band 34 is made up of many recessed pistons 10 outside lip-deep annular grooves 36 that go in ring, and is used for a plurality of piston rings 40 of adaptive correspondence.Nethermost annular groove is an oil ring groove, is used for admitting scraper ring 40 or ring stand.As shown in the figure, piston preferably includes two other annular groove 36, is positioned on the lowermost annular groove, and they are the pair of pistons pressure ring 40 of adaptive correspondence preferably.This being arranged in the heavy piston applications of oil ring and pressure ring has been nothing to be surprised at; But specific dimensions, geometrical shape and the specification of ring are then looked different application and are decided; Therefore; From in the broadest sense, the present invention attempts to make its piston to comprise that at least one oil ring groove and at least one is positioned at the pressure annular groove on the oil ring groove, preferred two this pressure annular grooves.

Piston 10 also under minimum piston ring groove 36 (promptly under oil ring groove) be formed with an other at least groove 42, this of design groove is the oil stream that scrapes from cylinder wall with solving, shortening exceeded the oil circuit of piston ring when piston 10 move in cylinder.Oil-discharge trough 44 extends around skirt 28, towards outside flat surface 44 openings of pin hub 26, like this, is that continuous piston ring groove 36 is different with periphery, and groove 42 upwards is incoherent in week.Although the present invention is used or the expectation the 4th groove 42, its degree of depth can than shown in the degree of depth more shallow or darker, oil-discharge trough 42 maybe be more shallow than annular groove 36 on the degree of depth.People can also see from Fig. 2, though oil-discharge trough 42 as required can be higher or lower, it is usually located on the plane identical with 22 planes, oil cooling passage 18 bottoms.

Pin hub 26 is formed with along pin-and-hole axis 48 aligned pin 46, is fit to hold knuckle-pin (as shown in the figure), is used for a piston 10 and a connecting rod (figure does not show) are coupled together.Can see that from the worm's eye view of Fig. 3 pin-and-hole axis 48 is vertical with a transverse axis 50 of dividing skirt 28 equally.In oil-discharge trough 42, have one at least, preferred a plurality of oil drainage holes 52, the inside opening of the piston 10 of these holes below being positioned at oil cooling passage 18 supplies to turn back to crankcase from the oil that skirt 28 inboard internal pistons flow out.These at least one, preferred a plurality of oil drainage holes 52 is spaced apart with pin hub 26 on periphery.As Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 clear shown in, preferred four such oil drainage holes 52 extend to the inside of skirt 28 from the 4th oil-discharge trough 42.Preferably, oil drainage hole 52 is positioned at the position that distance contains vertical plane 15 degree of transverse axis 50, thereby distance 30 is spent each other.Although preferred this set, the present invention has considered that also other oil drainage hole 52 that can optimize oily flow control is provided with.Shown in Fig. 2 was clear, oil drainage hole 52 began near the outward edge of oil-discharge trough 42, with in about 20 degree angles and to extending below, towards internal piston towards skirt 28 inwalls 54 openings.Like this, oil can also further be discharged from oil drainage hole 52 except flowing to the flat surface zone of pin hub 26 from oil-discharge trough 42, thereby has strengthened the oil extraction function of oil-discharge trough 42.

Clearly, according to above introduction, the present invention possibly also exist many other modification and variations.So people must recognize, as long as within the scope of appended subsequently claim, the present invention can also adopt and be different from here specially appointed mode and implement.
